It's really nice too. I picked one up this morning as well. I like the weight/feel in the hand a lot more with the EXT battery.

Can't go wrong. Double the battery for half the price. He asked me if I wanted it and at first I said no then I told him to throw it in.

Excellent battery life with the extended too! The cover holster combo is made to fit the extended cover as well! Very good buy...

Does the phone still work in the car dock with the extended battery? Deal breaker if not.

Offer is valid in store as well.... I picked mine up yesterday. Trying the standard battery for a few days to compare that to my thunderbolt.... so far its pretty good.
I'll probably switch over to the extended in a few days

Just ordered mine - how ext. is ext?

So - are any of the cases going to fit the ext battery? I bought a case today and am thinking it won't fit with the ext. battery now.

an extra 1000 mAh's. So ~60%.

Is this deal still going on?

Good call. Just ordered one. Thanks

Just picked one up. It feels really good compared to the tbolt extended battery.

Anyone feel like posting a comparison pic to see how thick it is? Is it really bulky in a pocket?

[Q] Good cheap battery for Note II?

I'll be going to The Netherlands in a couple weeks and I'd like to have an extra charged battery in my pocket just in case... and for the plane ride. Any suggestions? something really cheap but not totally **** would be nice!

Oh and it has to be a normal sized battery not an extended one.

Why not just pick up another stock battery? Anything else youd risk it being sub par.

Anker battery. About $10 usd on amazon and I can't tell the difference from my stock battery.

You could always pick up a USB battery. Last the entire flight with screen and WiFi on. Netflix and you arrive sleep deprived

Anker and QCell have both worked well for me. They both last just as long as the stock battery and at least on Amazon they each come with an external wall charger. I keep a charged battery in my pocket all the time now and it's great being able to quickly throw the charged one in the phone and instantly have a 100% charge.

Anker 6200mah battery is a beast.

Another vote for the regular Anker. Lasts longer than my stock battery. Bought the 2 pack with charger for $20 on Amazon.

Anyone know about this case?

All other extended battery cases dont have a slot of the s pen or no nfc. This looks like a pretty good case. Only 20 bucks on ebay. But on amazon theyre seeling it for 59.95.

In my experience they're not that good. I had one for the original Note. The built in battery isn't the stated rating and it barely provides anything more than a trickle charge. If price is your main concern go to Amazon and buy the Anker 2 replacement batteries set with charger included. I've got the Mugen battery and couldn't be happier

The Anker batteries are great, in my experience they give you a bit more battery life than the OEM battery does even though they are the same size.

So i recieved the case today and i can tell you. Its worth more than 20 dollars. It has great material plastic and leather thats fake but feels genuine. Battery life is still in testing

This battery case is actually brilliant. It can get me 0-60% while being in use.. the case itself is fantastic

Darn it all. I was looking for one of these about 3 weeks ago. I settled for 2 Anker 3100 mah batteries and a charger for about the same money. So far, they are quite good and I'm pleased with their performance. Now I have battery envy.
In my book, the stock battery is too small, the zerolemon is too big, but the Gorilla would have been just right and at a good price.

Plus it has the nfc support that most dont have. And its 50% off right now. I have another battery case but saw this and was sold. I think you should go ahead and try it

From the link pictures TPU case looks like S3 case although it says for Note 2. Here is my take on this. It looks like a regular ebay extended battery with addition of NFC built into the plastic battery cover, thus probably why the price is higher than from ebay. I don't have any experience with Gorilla brand, but obviously it just a HK generic re-branded battery, and from a lot of the reviews of those I have seen it's 50/50 chance you will get the advertised capacity. I'm not saying it's a case with Gorilla stuff, but it would be good to hear back from someone who bought their battery before and had a chance to really test it out to calculate mAh output. From what I heard and read, the only available double capacity batteries that are reliable: Mugen ($105 - way too overpriced) or Hyperion ($18.99 and $4.99 for extended tpu case).
Regarding Zerolemon being too big, I would correct it as "heavier" but not too big. It adds the same thickness as 6200/6500 mAh battery, just extends it across the back of the phone due to an additional battery block. That is why people use the same Defender mod for either double capacity or triple capacity extended battery - fitment will be similar.

Well i guess ill be the tester
Ill try to post pics and a typed review of the device when id have a weeks use of it

That's how most of these work. Double capacity is nothing more or less than 2 original ones fused together. Zerolemon is just 3 fused together, arranged in a different shape. As it was discussed before, Samsung squeezed maximum capacity out of that battery footprint, nothing holding back. 3100 mAh is the max you can get out of that single footprint while 6200 mAh is the max out of double, just like 9300 mAh is the max from ZL triple. The only other company that was able to squeeze a bit more juice out of double was Mugen, and they make their own battery cells. Everybody else buys it from China and slaps their own label on it. Some companies do a detailed testing to guarantee the product, while others write made up capacity numbers. I would take it with a grain of salt when I read 6500 mAh and see the price (higher than ebay stuff, but justifiable because NFC antenna is included and that one is pricey) which points to origin of these cells from China. I have nothing against GG and from all the feedback I see they are a very reputable company that has been around for awhile. But I still think these are really 6200 mAh batteries, unless someone can get an external test unit which discharges and monitors the actual current draw down to 3.4V or whatever is the threshold when battery goes dead.

You guys dont understand how hard it is to drank this sucker. I was on netflix, youtube, ifunny, instagram, texting calling web browsing all day. And now i have nyan cat (10 hours version playing) and i dont think i can get to 5% anytime soon XD

vectron, have you seen this review for the GG battery?
http://www.batteryreview.info/revie...h-extended-battery-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s3/
According to the review, the GG battery is on par with Anker, Hyperion, and Mugen, beating them all slightly. If the reviewed battery is representative of GG batteries, then they are comparable to the favored batteries on this forum.
I have enjoyed reading many of your reviews. Thank you for your fine work. Is there any chance you might review the GG battery for the GN2?

Best External Battery

Please share. What is the best extended battery? That you can charge phone on go and use at same time. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Zerolemon is best for battery life since its 3x the battery power of the stock. But i love the Mugen battery for its NFC that comes stock with it. Rather than wiring an old nfc chip then using copper tape to connect the two contacts. But the mugen is only 6400 mah (twice the size) but the very con for mugen is that its nearly 2 times the price of the zerolemon battery. But if you dont need nfc go ahead and use the zerolemon its a great product from what i see people say.

Another option, since you mentioned "charge phone on go and use at the same time" is Anker Astro Slim 3 external battery (not extended, but external), I reviewed it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388894
It's a super slim slice that you can use for charging your phone while holding and using both battery and the phone at the same time.

I use a external battery case that takes 18650 batteries so that I can replace the battery when they go bad. I don't expect those cheap external batteries to be of good quality

Nice, but is not sold in The Netherlands...
14000mah would be nice

Yep, that 14000 mAh looks like a beast! You know, sometime companies list their products both on amazon and ebay where from ebay you can buy it internationally when you contact the seller.
